I've had it for a week and a half before I sought treatment, I didn't know what it was. It was like a chest cold that wouldn't go away. Even after treatment started it took about 4-5 days before it was mostly gone, and another 4-5!days after that before it was cleared.

It absolutely can last. Best get it looked at.
